Kanye West—the star synonymous with Twitter rants, Grammy-winning rap records and interrupting Taylor Swift—made an appearance on the "Ellen Degeneres Show" that we're predicting now will live forever in the annals of daytime television's most memorable moments.

While his interview with the comedian Thursday launched on lighter topics like having more children with wife Kim Kardashian—"I'm fine to just practice"—and his daughter North West's newfound role as a big sister--"She's really advanced for her age"--the "Life of Pablo" performer soon found himself in the midst of another lengthy diatribe, except this time it wasn't on social media.

"We're not in a place where people can only have one career, one profession throughout their entire life," he claimed. "I see the importance in the value of everyone being able to experience a more beautiful life."

However, while the man behind the Yeezy brand said that he was raised to "make a difference" and believes he can make things better in the world through his artistic skill set, he has faced countless skeptics.

"I have to be Michael Jackson of apparel in order to break open the doors for everyone that will come after I'm gone, after I'm dead, after they call me wacko Kanye," he said candidly, citing the fact that there was a time when MTV didn't want to air Jackson's music videos. "Isn't that so funny that people point fingers at the people who have influenced us the most? They talk the most sh** about the people who care the most. I'm sorry, daytime television. I'm sorry for the realness."
